March 2025 — Delivered a robust set of backend/frontend improvements and data-model updates for the nr-permitconnect-navigator-service, with a strong emphasis on electrification readiness, code quality, and security. Key outcomes include implementing the electrification feature set (permit types, routing, intake forms, and home page), establishing backend routes/controller/service layer, reorganizing views to align with new routing and updating tests, and introducing common form components with render tests. Also updated API specs, added DB migrations for electrification and role-name changes, integrated Identity Provider (IdP) for login, and improved i18n to remove file-name conflicts. A housing-project naming refactor across the codebase was completed. Stability work included multiple merge/rebase conflict resolutions and seed updates to support development environments. This set of changes enables faster feature delivery, improved security and testing, and a stronger foundation for ongoing Electrification and housing-project initiatives.
